New Pitcher & Plate

Its time for the 13th Tabletop Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life. Thanks Marty, for hosting this weekly meme!
It is so much fun looking at all the little vignettes we create on various surfaces in our homes.

Here is what I currently have on my dining room table.
The bouquet is made up of the "best" of some not-so-fresh blooms from Mother's Day.
I recently purchased the pitcher and matching plate at a Safeway grocery store for half price, $4 for the pitcher and $1.50 for the plate.


My daughter gave me 4 of these terrific floral shaped bowls for Mother's Day. (Pier 1) 
I just love them!


My son gave me this wonderful book Southern Lady "Gracious Spaces" by Phyllis Hoffman.

 It has lots of terrific tablescapes and ideas for creating vignettes. So many pictures to savour!
 
I couldn't decide whether these white coloured birds look best or....
 These cream coloured ones....
 Which pair do you prefer?
Be sure to head on over to A Stroll Thru Life now for some wonderful vignette inspiration.

  5. Love the paisley patterned pitcher and plate! And those roses look so sweet nestled in the white flower bowl from your daughter -- darling! I vote for the cream-colored birds.

  12. Those little flower bowls are wonderful, and that book looks wonderful too. Can't believe that plate and pitcher came from the grocery and at that price! Either set of birds looks pretty, but the cream colored ones seem to give the scape more personality. Your M.D. flowers still look good to me. laurie

  18. I think I'll have to vote for the creamier ones. I saw these fabulous dishes at Pier 1 and SHOULD have bought them. I'm glad you did. They are just lovely!!! And Phyllis Hoffman's books are such a treat. What a thoughtful gift from an apparently VERY attentive son!
